Effective ways to strengthen your Presentation

1. The success of a presentation depends on how the audience understands the presenter's frames of reference. Hence a presentation should be tailored towards the audience level of understanding and should avoid using jargons and words which only the presenter understands.

2. Adding animations and sounds to the presentation is creating "noise", it will distract the audience from the point you are trying to make. Hence it is important to keep the slides simple if you have an important point to make.

* Existence of Internal and External "noise"
-Example of internal noise are jargons or technical terms which the audience are not able to comprehend; and
-Example of external noise are later-comers, inattentive audience (audience yawning away) and etc.

3. Clichés not only exist in the form of words and phrases, but also pictures and animations. An example will be the screen beans. Try not to use the templates and pictures from the PowerPoint software, use unique pictures which are able to depict/ bring across the purpose to the audience instead.

These are only a few pointers i have learnt. There are many more methods you can think of with your creativity.
